alg posted:Is "supply" a game term? It's not bolded like a keyword but the rulebook refers to your supply of force cards in the force phase section on page 14. It just means you have to have one of your three slots available to commit a guy if you want to play this card, so you can't play a guy without committing him or get a 4th unit committed.

I'm really looking forward to this force pack cycle. I'm liking the look of tying Force Commitment into more aspects of the game; as it stands, that mechanic feels a bit divorced from the rest of the game for me.

It's really hard for non-Jedi LS to take the force with any sort of consistency. It's really weird how random unique imperial goons can have 3 pips. Especially since their claims to fame are oft-times little more than "took an unnecessary shortcut, lost some ATATs to a river, then got my walker opened like a tauntaun and was blown up."

I've recently been shown the light when it comes to protecting my games, and I really want to start sleeving my LCG collection That said, I'm worried about storage options. I currently have my cards in Ultra Pro binder pages, so when I want to deckbuild I can see all 6 cards per pod at a glance. If I sleeve everything, I think my only option is going to be a card box or two, and that makes flipping through pods problematic. Any suggestions?

I was sleeving all my SWLCG and ANRLCG cards and not only is it expensive, it doubles the storage size (thickness), and even Ultra-Pro Mattes vary in size and opacity across print runs.

While that is an attractive idea, I do a lot of deck building. I'm not in any ongoing leagues or tournament play, so i tend to build new decks every time my wife and I play together. That would make for a lot of shuffling cards in and out of sleeves and binder pages, and that sounds like a recipe for disaster in terms of bent corners and edges. Storage space itself isn't too much of a concern. This is the only LCG I play, so if it takes up a lot of room, I can live with that. My primary concern (other than protecting the cards from wear and tear) is ease of access when I want to sit down and theory-craft new decks.

I can't help but feel that the game would be better if the majority of pods were 1-of and the 2-ofs were the abnormals. Then data packs could have more than 1 pod per faction. The game is all but dead in my area and a large complaint has been the general lack of card options per period. Also the whole 'your ID is your splash faction' bit.

I think higher variance would make the game worse in a way that an expanded card pool wouldn't make up for. I mean, the splash faction as faction ID is for consistency too.

You don't necessarily need to do the other ID as your splash faction, the game is getting to a point where you can make a pure deck and be fine or one guy in our group always builds decks using all three factions and adds the neutral one that allows you to ignore faction requirements and he is the second best player in the group. Got to play a couple games of 2v2 last night and it was great. I thought the multiplayer stuff was really smooth though I think the rebels had a bit of an easier time, the Smuggler rush and Hoth rush aggro decks that my friend and I played, absolutely dominated the DS and we won on our third turn and actually could have had destroyed more DS objectives than the dial was at(dial was at 5 and we could have blown up 7). It was a lesson in why you don't just start dropping bombs, first turn from one DS guy was Vader and the other guy played an At-At, my objective flip was a pair of Anoat Sectors and I had blockade runner in my opening draw. First turn knocked out an objective and set the pace from there. After the game we chose teams for next week and are coordinating our decks for maximum effect. Looking forward to it. We might also try the 3v1 or 2v1 scenarios if new players show up. I'm thinking the 2v1 scenario might be a good to teach new players the game.

So, anyone enjoying the new pods in BotF? I'm impressed with the Imperial and Rebel ones for 1v1, though I imagine Sith would be a powerhouse in 2v2.

Last week we tried the search for Skywalker 2v1 scenario. Man that Light side deck is brutal. You really need to build strong decks to manage it because it just ran over us both times. Red Five is nigh unstoppable and with the enhancements the deck runs it's silly powerful. Second game we just managed to get Luke on the board and then didn't have nearly enough guns/blast icons on the board to kill him.

Has anyone been successful with Executor yet? I'm thinking on this: Affiliation: Sith (Core) Total Objective Sets: (10) 2x Imperial Command (Core) Admiral Motti (Core) Duty Officer (Core) Heavy Stormtrooper Squad (Core) Heavy Stormtrooper Squad (Core) Orbital Bombardment (Core) 2x Death and Despayre (Core) Devastator (Core) Imperial Officer (Core) Control Room (Core) Defense Upgrade (Core) Heat of Battle (Core) 2x Deploy the Fleet (The Search For Skywalker) Death Squadron Star Destroyer (The Search For Skywalker) Death Squadron Star Destroyer (The Search For Skywalker) Fleet Navigator (The Search For Skywalker) Death Squadron Command (The Search For Skywalker) Admiral's Orders (The Search For Skywalker) 2x The Executor Arrives (Escape from Hoth) Executor (Escape from Hoth) ISB Liaison (Escape from Hoth) ISB Liaison (Escape from Hoth) Sith Holocron (Escape from Hoth) Aggression (Escape from Hoth) 1x Imperial Blockade (Edge of Darkness) Captain Needa (Edge of Darkness) Imperial I-class Star Destroyer (Edge of Darkness) Imperial I-class Star Destroyer (Edge of Darkness) Apology Accepted (Edge of Darkness) Tractor Beam (Edge of Darkness) 1x Repair and Refurbish (Balance of the Force) Thunderflare (Balance of the Force) Logistics Officer (Balance of the Force) Logistics Officer (Balance of the Force) Weapons Upgrade (Balance of the Force) Supporting Fire (Balance of the Force) I feel like I'll have a lot of resources and should be able to play big Capital Ships reasonably. I think that's all the released Star Destroyers. PaybackJack posted:Last week we tried the search for Skywalker 2v1 scenario. Man that Light side deck is brutal.

I am still not sure how to build to beat either one.

alg posted:Has anyone been successful with Executor yet? I'm thinking on this: It slots into the bog standard Sith lists without any difficulty. Executor is a very nice addition but the real MVP of the pod is the Sith Holocron. Counsel of the Sith x2 The Emperor's Web x2 The Executor Arrives x2 Fall of the Jedi x2 Your last 2 pods are largely meta dependent. My playgroup was very much into playing Jedi Superfriends, so I ran Trandoshan Terror for the 2 resources and Bossk being able to get rid of a hugely buffed Jedi. Not to mention Trandoshan Hunters never being a bad draw. Rebels/Sleuth Smugglers hate The Tattoine Crash because of Jawa spam, since they are often alpha striking every turn. The Ghosts of the Darkside is also hugely effective if only because Force Shockwave is so utterly hosing to swarm decks.

I just picked up a double starter and the desolation of hoth. So far I am enjoying the "Pod" system for card selection, but I have been unable to get a solid deck building strategy going. I'm used to being able to pick cards on a 1 by 1 basis based on synergy, but here we have to pick pods, and not all cards in a 2 pods will have as coherent of a synergy as a 1 for 1 system. So I am here looking for deckbuilding strategy! Tourney and friendly play alike. Any takers?

I'm really just waiting for some of this awesome poo poo to actually start coming out. It felt like there was a constant stream of new cards when this game was new, but everything just stopped dead when the 3v1 expansion hit.

Heroes and Legends is on the boat and expected out next month at least. The same gap in releases happen with Netrunner after it's first Deluxe as well. Creation and Control came out early July and we did not see Opening moves till mid/late September.

I just really like the idea of a card game like this with constant additions and improvements. My only problem now is finding someone else to play against. My wife likes the game, but not nearly as much as I do.

I ran into a buddy that's typically into heavy Eurogames or stuff like Twilight Struggle and found out that he and his girlfriend had been going to the board game store a few times a week to play this game. Good to know another couple enjoys it. Apparently she's not into the movies/theme at all but really likes the mechanics.

Finally getting around to trying some sets I've wanted to try (Frozen Refuge and A Hero's Resolve) Generally the goal is to overwhelm them to win Edge then bomb the poo poo out of them with stuff like Wedge/Rogue 3/Luke and FX-7. Hold the Line is in there for defenders, mostly. My meta, as I assume most metas are, is currently about Sith control, so I'm hoping I always have the best number of Hoth objectives. Affiliation: Jedi (Core) Total Objective Sets: (10) 2x Hoth Operations (The Desolation of Hoth) Wedge Antilles (The Desolation of Hoth) Rogue Three (The Desolation of Hoth) Snowspeeder (The Desolation of Hoth) Hoth Survival Gear (The Desolation of Hoth) Target of Opportunity (The Desolation of Hoth) 1x Echo Base Defense (The Desolation of Hoth) Wilderness Fighters (The Desolation of Hoth) Wilderness Fighters (The Desolation of Hoth) Wilderness Fighters (The Desolation of Hoth) Subzero Defenses (The Desolation of Hoth) Subzero Defenses (The Desolation of Hoth) 1x Frozen Refuge (Assault on Echo Base) WED-15-1016 (Assault on Echo Base) FX-7 Medical Assistant (Assault on Echo Base) Tauntaun (Assault on Echo Base) Echo Control Center (Assault on Echo Base) Battle of Hoth (Assault on Echo Base) 2x Attack Pattern Delta (The Battle of Hoth) Rogue Leader (The Battle of Hoth) Rogue Two (The Battle of Hoth) Snowspeeder (The Battle of Hoth) Snowspeeder Launch Bay (The Battle of Hoth) Battle of Hoth (The Battle of Hoth) 2x Hold the Line! (The Battle of Hoth) Hoth Rearguard (The Battle of Hoth) Hoth Rearguard (The Battle of Hoth) Hoth Rearguard (The Battle of Hoth) Coordinated Strike (The Battle of Hoth) Battle of Hoth (The Battle of Hoth) 2x A Hero's Resolve (Escape from Hoth) Luke Skywalker (Escape from Hoth) Snowspeeder (Escape from Hoth) Tauntaun (Escape from Hoth) Battle of Hoth (Escape from Hoth) Heat of Battle (Escape from Hoth)

You'd still be filling your deck with a lot of mediocre cards if you want 2 Force Storm, and as it is I think Sith run low on slots (since at this point 6+ pods seem pretty much mandatory). That being said Force Storm is a super-hard counter for some decks. I'm also wondering how that works with stuff like Guardians-I'd think they wouldn't be able to protect since all the damage is done simultaneously but I'm not totally sure how that interaction would work.

Protect let's you put an amount of damage up to lethal, so you can't soak 20 damage onto a 2 health guardian.

Does that have 2x of the "8" costers? I hate the videos so I won't listen with sound. Possible reasons to not run it are blowouts from the objective flipping. Beyond that yes in a straight smuggler's deck or Rebel control it is insane.
